Exercise 8.1 Tempo Benchmark — Staircase Test
Bass-slap alternation as the speed benchmark: start at 60, climb in notches, +5 BPM after 4 consecutive flawless bars
Tempo: 60-100 BPM
💡 The dedicated benchmark for Chapter 8's staircase method: complete "4 consecutive flawless bars" at each notch before advancing; if you stall, drop back one notch. Speed is the result of stability — don't rush.
